“…The Brazilian immigrant women in this study, almost 90 % of whom, were undocumented, reported easy access to healthcare services in the US and viewed available care as being high quality. This finding differs from that reported by several studies that have found this population group has limited access to healthcare and low levels of satisfaction with services received [3, 11]. Our findings may be a reflection of the study setting and/or study sample.…”

“…Accessing and utilizing health care in a new country is central to the quality of life of immigrants [35], yet immigrants often have lower rates of health insurance coverage and medical service usage than their US-born counterparts and immigrant groups with legal status residing in the US [610], which impacts their healthcare access. Moreover, immigrants face many challenges accessing healthcare, such as lack of health insurance, financial difficulties, language barriers and lack of interpreters, cultural differences in views about health, health literacy, differences in health expectations, and discrimination based on race or accent [1116].…”

“…En el caso de la utilización de la atención primaria no se observan diferencias entre los autócto-nos e inmigrantes considerados en su conjunto, lo que podría indicar un acceso equitativo a los servicios y el buen desempeño del sistema nacional de salud español, dado que el acceso fue universal hasta 2012, lo que es consistente con otros análisis 23,45 . No obstante, los estudios que desagregan según la procedencia de la población inmigrante, muestran un menor acceso de sujetos de determinados orígenes a este nivel asistencial como la población de Europa del Este 29,32,34 o de origen africano y asiáti-co 34,35 .…”

“…No obstante, los estudios que desagregan según la procedencia de la población inmigrante, muestran un menor acceso de sujetos de determinados orígenes a este nivel asistencial como la población de Europa del Este 29,32,34 o de origen africano y asiáti-co 34,35 . Las diferencias más importantes se observan en el menor uso de la atención especializada, mostrando diferencias en el acceso al médico especialista relacionadas con la condición de inmigrante, también en línea con los resultados de estudios en contextos nacionales 23 e internacionales 46,47 que podría señalar barreras en el acceso de tipo socioeconómico. Asimismo, la mayor utilización de urgencias de los inmigrantes es consistente con las conclusiones a nivel internacional 48 y con las barreras en el acceso relacionadas con la organización de los servicios, como los horarios de atención incompatibles con el horario laboral de los trabajadores inmigrantes 22 .…”
